The Definitive Rap Podcast Interview with Rabbi Abraham Cooper, CEO of The Simon Wiesenthal Center, Discussing school board push-back against Holocaust and more.

During the last several years, FBI data has shown a massive spike of antisemitic attacks against Jews and Jewish institutions, and that Jews have been the most targeted group in America. We are no longer just victimized by Holocaust-denying neo-Nazis, but are now targeted by the far left, radical Islamists, and the “free Palestine” PLO movement who have spent years trying to delegitimize Israel in the media, on college campuses, academia, and now, the halls of Congress.  Last month in Texas, Gina Peddy, executive director of curriculum and instruction for the Carroll Independent School District, said, “We are in the middle of the political mess … make sure that if you have a book on the Holocaust, that you have one that has opposing or other perspectives.” In 2019, Florida Principal William Latson said he had to be 'politically neutral' about the Holocaust because 'not all of our parents have the same beliefs. In2018, Trayon White Sr., a Washington, D.C., councilman, who is now running for Mayor, suggested on Facebook that rich Jews control the weather. He visited the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum and left halfway through the 90-minute tour. Today’s very special guest,  Rabbi Abraham Cooper, from the Simon Wiesenthal Center discussed these very troubling events, and if we in the Jewish community and other men and women of good will are going to wake up and realize that the threats against us are coming from more corners of society than we want to admit.  This podcast has been graciously sponsored by JewishPodcasts.fm.
